I used 3 1 oz. bottles to do the scraf joints, shear boards, and glued the top on to my WR164.. I still added the nails for the cool look though. The stuff sands a lot better than epoxy and the scraf joints needed only mild sandinding

: Hi Rehd;

: Y'all keep saying that it is expensive, but I wonder . . . You can get 8oz

: life. If you have never played with the "thin" CA, you'd find it
: does not take much at all. A drop will wick into and wet perhaps an inch
: of a tight joint of 1/4" thickness, perhaps a few inches if the joint
: is really tight and you drop it up-slope ;-)

: No need to wet every inch of wood strip, perhaps every 8" or so -
: thinking out loud. The epoxy will take care of the rest of the glueing
: operation..

: "Try it, you might like it!"

: Best Regards, Spidey
